I hope you early owners will share your fuel economy results with the rest of us.

Since the Micra has a built in resettable fuel consumption display, we luckily don't have to wait until fill-up time to know how the car is doing, but the most accurate results only come from recording your distance & fuel use each time you fill up.

The Micra is the first Canadian car that is subject to the revised NRCAN "5-cycle" fuel consumption testing methods, which apply starting with the 2015 model year (and which are the same as the U.S. EPA's current testing method).

My experience is that it's pretty easy to beat the new ratings, unless...

You tend to "drive it like you stole it"; or you travel well over the speed limit on the highway; or you face a LOT of stop & go traffic; or you drive mostly short trips (eg. a few km) so the car spends a high proportion of its time driving "cold".

EDIT:
Well that's it, i'm calling it good at ten tanks. That's easily an average of 50mpg even when you take into account the wonky speedo/odometer. If I get a chance to hyper mile a tank, I will check mpg and post the results.

I'm going to add a fuel economy tracking feature to the forum before the end of this month. Keep your gas receipts & kms per fill-up!

Fuelly is OK, but it doesn't break down the results very well (ie. you can't sort Micra results by engine size or transmission type, and some owners don't even indicate which one they have), so it's not very useful looking at their aggregate results.

You're absolutely right! We've got about a 6 month window of "clean" stats on Fuelly before other 2015 Micras from around the world make it hard/impossible to separate out the various powertrain differences.
